Thread: LzTr (LzTr) Review

tracker name: LzTr
Tracker URL: LzTr.us
Tracker type: Music/Audio
Signups: Closed (Invite only)

LzTr is a gazelle based music/audio tracker. Unlike other music trackers this tracker is dedicated to all kinds of osts. OST means original soundtrack. All ost uploads are allowed here be it games,animations,classical and obviously movie soundtracks. They also allow jazz and blues to be uploaded here. A good tracker but it is not everyones piece of cake. For people who love this kind of music this would be like a dream tracker for them.

Lets move on

Quotes from LzTr forums

1. All new uploads will continue to have 24h FL
2. After 24h, all torrents above 2GB will remain FL.
3. All torrents above 2GB now will continue to have perm. FL.
4. The following collages will have Perm. Freeleech:

* LzTr's Essential Soundtracks
* LzTr Soundtrack Mix, Vol. 1
* Kego's Soundtrack Mix
* Want to try classical music? Suggestions for the beginner


- ...and, of course, the Editor's Choice collage.

As you see above its not difficult at all to maintain a positive ratio here.

Forums:



Golden rules: Rules are enforced here on this site.So make sure you go through them before you do anything else.



Bonus system: No bonus system.Well i personally believe you don't need any bonus to boost you're ratio on this site.

user class:

Other Things you should know about the tracker:

Uploading rules:
The uploading rules here are strict and can be confusing during you'r first upload. Please make sure you go through the uploading rules before you upload anything on this site. I cant put down all the uploading rules here but make sure you go through it as different sections/genres have different rules.Please dont hit and run.



Ratio system: Ratio rules are relaxed and not at all hard to maintain given the new freeleech system implemented a month ago.



Radio: Very few people know that LzTr has an official radio network. You might like to tune in sometime when you're bored.Radio streams at 192kbps.

http://lztr.us:8000/stream.m3u

Request section: The request on this site are 75% fullfilled which i beleive is really good for a community with just around 1500 people.being more accurate they have 920 requests of which 75% have been filled.

Log checker: Just like what.cd they have a log checker which rates your flac rip according to the log out of 100. Use it whenever you upload flac content. I should tell you that snatches on a 100% flac is always much more as compared to a 90 or maybe 95% FLAC upload not on this site but every site i have been to.Wouldn't you just prefer 100% FLAC?

Image hosting: You should also know LzTr arranges for its own image hosting. Its very simple to use and saves a lot of time. Obviously you can use it only if you are registered on Lztr

Staff: Staff is really good and are always willing to help you out. I had a problem and it was solved within 10-15 minutes. Staff here is not rude at all.

Personal opinions:

Personally i love this site. It helps me find every ost like or need. or people into this kind of music this is your best source. Speeds here aren't great as most of the users here are mostly on a home connection.Everyone is allowed to upload so the speed increases after initial phase. One more thing i have noticed is that users on this site seed torrents for long times irrespective of their ratio. Now this is one thing we all like isnt it?

According to me this is a must have site for any music fan.

My ratings:

Design: 8/10 (Gazelle always helps find music faster and in all formats)
Speed: 7/10 (Most users are on a home connection)
Content: 9/10 (Covers almost everything in this genre)
Rarity: 9/10
Staff: 9/10 ( I have had problems and staff have helped me out well)

Thank you
I hope you liked the review.I gave you information about everything this site gives to its users. If you need anything (except invites ) please pm me.
Keep rocking

very impressive review, many thanks for introducing this great tracker...going to look for an invite now

Thanks for the review, I have just recently heard about this tracker and I am thinking about pursuing an invite, just have a couple of questions.

1) Does donor status expire or once a donor always a donor?

2) As far as OSTs are concerned, how rare would you say the content is, as compared to say Waffles (I am not on What)?
